Introducing Taylor's brand new innovation - the ground-breaking V-Class Bracing System. Andy Powers has re-imagined the Taylor Guitar, designing a new "sonic engine" which transforms the way the top vibrates to dramatically improve the sound. This new innovation marks a bold departure from X-bracing, producing notes that are louder, longer sustaining, and more in tune with each other. For a more detailed explanation of V-Class bracing, please visit Taylor's website via this link.

The 414ce-R V-Class boasts Taylor's most popular body shape, the Grand Auditorium. This shape lends itself wonderfully to fingerpickers, flatpickers, and strummers alike, making it incredibly versatile. The classic tonewood pairing of rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top creates a traditional, tonally versatile sound with a broad dynamic range. The body also features a soft Venetian cutaway for easier access to the higher frets, as well as a stylish tortoiseshell pickguard. The mahogany neck features a 25.5" scale length, and an ebony fingerboard with frets punctuated by Renaissance fret inlays. The 414ce-R is equipped with Taylor's patented Expression System 2 - their breakthrough behind-the-saddle transducer pickup, which amplifies the true, natural tones of each individual guitar - not just the sound of a pickup. This brand new V-Class braced model also features Taylor nickel tuners, a new black graphite nut, and a new guitar label that bears the signature of master guitar designer Andy Powers.
